In the vocabulary of the Secret Police the terms " Mouchard" and " Mouton" are the two which are most familiar to those who are uninitiated in its mysteries. The word "Mouchard" is not of modern origin. A certain Antoine de Mouchy, otherwise Dcmocharis, a Doctor of Sorbonne, and Canon of Noyen in 1574, acquired an unenviable notoriety among his contemporaries by his zeal against the Reformers, and was appointed " Inquisitor of the Faith." The Reformers who were pt-rwecuted by, and who naturally hated him, gave the name of Mouchartg to those whom he employed us spies to hunt out Dissenters. In his " History of the Par liament of Paris," Voltaire says The famous Mouchy was in reality an informer, a spy of the Cardinal de Lorraine, and it was for him that the nickname of Mouchard was invented, and which designated all spies. The term has become an in sult." Other authorities will have it that it comes from mouche, a fly, because the monchard, like the fly, is ever buzzing about the ears of people. Mouton is applied to an agent who, a prisoner him self, is employed to lead the conversation of his fellows in plots and conspiracies, and to gradually tempt them to disclose their plots with the same apparent frankness he reveals his own. They follow him as a flock of sheep follow their leader. Agents of this kind are employed in most political conspiracies, and, when all is ready, they either disappear, or may be included among the arrested, as a matter of form, and when brought to trial in form against their accomplices or those who confide their secrets to them.

EArle, Esq. T em porary Offices-1, Cop This This Company has been established for the purpose of purchasing a property in the kingdom of Sweden, known as the Gellivar Estates, with the v ew of developing its great resources. The property comprises— (A.) Ab tut 1 200,000 acres of land, 900,000 acres of which are freehold, and the remaining 300,000cr acres can be of e sa me tenure. More than 500,000 aces consist of good fores th ts of red and white pines ; 100,000 acres are already under cul tivation or fit for it; and far,her extensive districts will become available for agricultural purposes. (B) The Gellivara iro n bed is probably the largest and most productive in the worid, extending over nearly threep ee squa re miles. The ore consists partly of hematite and of protoxide of iron, without any visible trace al. of pyrite, y i e lding on the average 65 p er cent. of pure me Th e mountain was survey ed in 1857 by a p r actical English mining engineer, Mr. Thomas, F.G.S., and he reported his opinion to be that— ' By adopting a systematic mode of working. there may be readily extracted from seven to eight millions of tons of very fine magnetic ironstone, readily obtainable by levels, and without the application of any draining machinery; and that, no doubt, even this large quantity might be materially in creased by removal of top rubbish and vegetation on the line of bearing of the ironstone, before it will be found necessary to apply any machinery for drainage." Th e mountain was likewise ins p ected in 1852 by Professor Erdmann, Chief Director of the Royal Geological Surveys in Swedn, an according to his report, a great number of the veins e are es d timated at from to 200 feet in thickness, and about 1,000 feet in length, and the produce of one single vein may fairly be calculated to equal more than three million tons of ore. (C) 215 farms, nine water and one steam sawmill, two blast furnaces, four ironworks, a ship-building yard, &c. from The greater portion of th is p ro p erty was purchased the late King of Sweden by an association of merchants in Sweden and Norway, whose operations have been confinedto the wood business, and to a gradual extension of the cultiva tion of the land. favoura ble results. The The wood business yields ver y annual production is about 10,000 St. Petersburg standards or about 33, 000 loads , co stin g on an average £3, and at selling prices re adily for shipment to Eng land, France, Spain, &c., the equal to an average of XI 55. per stanaard, free a shipping ports, thus showing a profit of £l. ss. on er board stan t dard. This production can b a considerably increased by the erection of more sawmills. The value of the iron ore is increased by the circumstance that, without encroaching on the timber adapted for more valuable purposes, tie forests of the estates and the waste wood at the different sawmills rive an abundant supply an of c h a rcoal, at a 'ow cost , so that 25,000 tons of pig iron c readily be made at a cost of £1 19s. per ton, free on board above at t h e shipping port, while th e p resent selling price is £4 per ton. A ready sale of the ore rr ay be safely calculated on at the ipping e ,, cimated price of 153 per ton, free on btard, at the sr port. t, the owners of th‘ for sts -nd s wm lls on both the ,edish and Finland side of the Gu:f of Bothnia, who have now lane quantiies of wood annually wasted, which they con • I turn into value by making otiarcoa• of it if they could obtain good iron ore at a moderate cost tor sme.ting.

How far that suspicion was founded will be seen from the following narrative, which I take textu ally from the Acte d'Accusation, or Bill of Indict ment, which will be read to-morrow in the Assize Court by the Procureur Imperial. The Acte d'Ac• cusation begins thus : On 24th December,lB63, four strangers entered France at the same time by the Swiss frontier, and exhibited to the Police Commissary of St. Louis their papers, in which they were designated by the names of Greco, Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli. The Commissary on reading the papers, recollected that in 1862 a man named Trabuco had been pointed out to the authorities on the frontier as an Italian conspirator of a most dangerous character; and without a moment's delay, he sent word by tele graph to the Prefect of Police that the person bear ing that name was proceeding to Paris with three companions by the Mulhouse Railroad. When they reached the Paris terminus, at half-past 5 in the morning of the 25th, a surveillance had been already organized, and from that moment till their arrest all their movements were closely watched. " They got out of the same carriage without ex changing a wcrd with each other, and pretended to take different directions; but the four, Imperatori and Maspoli in one carriage, Trabuco in another, and Greco in the railway omnibus, drove to the Hotel Sainte-Marie, Rue de Rivoli, 83 ; Imperatori, Maspoli and Greco (under the name of Fioretti) hired rooms,in•which they deposited their luggage. Trabuco, whose only luggage was a French horn and a game pouch, quitted the hotel in the course of the day. He said that he was going to London but he went to No. 198, Rue St. Honore, where Gcceo,who had formerly lodged there, recommended him and hired a room for him. These arrange ments, however, were only temporary. On the 29th Greco presented himself at the Hotel de Naple, 176, Rue St. Honore, and hired three rooms, which were occupied the same day by him, Maspoli and Trabuco. The last-mentioned, on quitting the house, 198, took the precaution, as he had dune when leaving the Hotel Sainte-Marie, to say that he was starting for London. The next day Greco brought Imperatori with him, who was placed in a fourth room: " In these d;fferent lodging-houses the man ner and bearing of the four strangers seemed singular. From the moment of their arrival they appeared to ,be hesitating, abstracted, and mysterious. At the Hotel Sainte Marie Greco had recommended the waiter to give the key of his room to nobody,' not even to his own father.' In the house 178, Rue St. Honore, he observed to the landlady, Madame Musset, that the locks of the chests of drawers and of other pieces of furniture were ❑ot solid enough; and he went out to buy, at a trunkmaker's, named Liard, a new box with lock and key, in which he deposited the contents of his game pouch. When he installed himself at the hotel at Naples, Greco had the locks examined by a locksmith. He himself took up his things to his room. He waited to the last moment to show his papers, and those of his friends. It was only on the Ist of January that the landlady, Madame Thierry, could get Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli to ex hibit their passports; and Greco, who seemed an noyed at the thought of the house-register being examined by the police inspectors, did not put his name o❑ it till the 2d of January. In a word, the movements of these men betrayed a feeling of un easiness. When they went abroad they managed so as to leave one of them in watch at the hotel. The servant who waited on them several times per ceived that they kept the doors of their rooms half open—even during the night—in order to be able to hear the slightest stir in the house. Oat of doors their conduct was of a still more suspicious charac ter. In the hotel they were constantly together, had long conversations, and their going out and coming in were combined; still they took the pre caution when in the street to separate, to affect not to recognise each other, and when they approached to salute as if they were strangers. The morning after their arrival in Paris they were seen to observe with extraordinary care the approaches to the re served part of the gardens of the Tuileries. The same day they drove by the Place de la Concorde, and the central avenue of the Champs Elytees in a carriage, which by their order moved at a very slow pace, and they carefully noted every spot they thus passed over. 's On the 28th of December Trabuco, having gone to the streets leading to the Opera, and on the night the Emperor was to visit it, and having remained some time at the house of a hair dresser named Ranciot, in the rue Grange-Bate liere, rejoined his friends. The four then drove to the corner of the Boulevard and the rue Lepelletier. They waited at that spot till midnight, when the Emperor left the Opera; and they were observed to look about them frequently, and with all the ap pearance of mistrust. The following morning Tra buco and Greco went to the hairdresser's, Ranciot, under pretence of getting shaved; they then en tered the covered passage or gallery which leads from the rue Lepelletier, close to the Opera, to the Boulevard. After waiting some time to see if they were observed, they set themselves to examine mi ❑utely all the passages, and particularly the private entrance reserved for the Emperor. In this they passed half an hour. " On the 30th Ranciot, the hairdresser, on going to the Opera with his wife, found his two customers under the peristyle, where they seemed to be on the watch. On the 2d of January Greco, Trabuco) Imperatori, and Maspoli visited the approaches to the Tuileries. But their abstraction of mind was visibly on the increase. They looked es if they felt they were watched; took circuitous drives or walks in the streets ; and when they went on lout they were ever looking back or aside as if they thought some one was dogging their steps. They were much embarrassed when paying their bill at the hotel, and seemed to be waiting impatiently for a letter and mon - On the ad of Jrthuary, titter inquiring PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. in vain for letters addressed poste restante, they manifested the "greatest disappointment. Their going backwards and forwards, their agitated man ner, their disquiet—all revealed their design ; and this was thought the beat moment to secure their persons. " At half past four on the evening of the 3d of January Trobuco and Greco, who were.at the Hotel de Naples, were arrested. The pollee at once visited their rooms; the visit was attended with these re sults—in the room occupied by Trabuco, end in the drawer of a clothes chest, was found an oilcloth bag fastened by a lock. Trabuco, when requested to open it, said at first that the bag was not his, and that it had been given to him by an Englishman to take to London. He was searched, and on him was found the key of the bag, which contained, rolled up in a handkerchief, a poniard r and two bombs charged with powder, and furnished, the one with 12, the other with six, nipples. With another key, which was also found on Trabuco, they opened the wooden box bought at the trunkmaker's, Liard, and ' in it were discovered revolver cases, three packages of percussion caps, and an instrument for adjusting the nipples of the bombs. " In the writing table of Greco was found a tra velling bag which one of Trabuco's keys opened ; it contained, rolled up in a handkerchief, two bombs charged with powder, and with 12 nipples. The bag contained, moreover, an instrument for screwing on the nipples, two papers of powder, and a formide able revolver, ready, loaded and primed. They dis covered, too, in the possession of Greco and concealed in various ways, several documents, some of them emanating from Mazzini. " At 7 o'clock the same evening Imperatori and Maspoli were arrested in a wine shop. They were conducted to the Hotel de Naples, where a search was made in their presence. Nothing of a suspicious kind was found in Imperatori's room ; but the drawers of Maspoli's clothes chest contained four bombs charged with powder, eaeh with six nipples, a revolver loaded and primed, a package of powder, one of bullets, three boxes of percussion caps, two poniards, and divers others objects appertaining to firearms. With these things discovered before their eyes, it seemed difficult for the accused to deny their criminal projects. They at first attempted to main tain that they had no culpable intention; but they had eventually to make np their minds to a full avowal. Greco was the first to do so, and his de clarations, now corroborated in the essential part by his accomplices, unfold in a precise manner, the origin and the details of the plot. "At the head of this plot is Mazzini. This ardent conspirator, already condemned by default on the 3d September, 1857, by the Assize Court of the Seine, was found guilty of having formed, with cer-, tain persons named Tibaldi, Bartoloti, and others a plot for the assassination of the Emperor, and has not ceased to attack, in the person of Napoleon 111., the principle of order and authority of which the revolution i 3 the implacable enemy. During the trial of 1857 papers were seized which revealed these plots, and it is requisite to refer to them in order to show the criminal persistence of the chief of the party of action in Italy. " On the 10th of June, 1357, Mazzini wrote to his fellow-conspirators, Massarenti and Campanella, these words The carrying out this attempt is a vital affair for the country. . . . It is nearly the whole question, . . . The affair of Paris is more than ever desirable and urgent.' He recom mended them to call to mind all he had told as to the line of conduct they were to follow ; he informed them of the means of procuring funds ; and he added, I would give millions, but I cannot.' At this period he again wrote on the subject of the conspi racy w'iich was to spread over all Italy, but which he had not been able to bring to maturity, The structure that has been raised with infinite pains and unhoped-for success up to yesterday has been overthrown. . . . It is enough to make one dash his head against the wall. Ido not do so, however; we have to begin again.' "Mazzini was preparing for 1863 a vast revolu tionary movement, the signal for which was the assassination of the Emperor. Greco, a second-class conspirator, seemed to him at once obscure enough and resolute enough for the matter to be entrusted to him. 'Greco,' said Mazzini, in a letter addressed to the Times on the 14th January last, is an enthu siastic patriot, who has taken an active part in the expeditions of 1860 and 1861 in the South of Italy, and as such was in relation with me.' The rela tions of these two became intimate in April, 1863. Mazzini was then at Lugano. " The plan was then arranged, and it was decided that Greco should proceed to Paris in the beginning of May to examine the state of affairs, and when opportunity offered, t o make the attempt. At the moment of hie departure Mazzini wrote, in his pre sence, a note to serve as the key of his correspon dence. In it everything was carefully provided for —the relations to be formed in Paris, with a view to baffle the vigilance of the police ; the necessity for money, arms, and assistants ; the notice to be given on the eve of the attempt. Finally, Mazzini mentioned, as the place to which letters were to be addressed to him in London, the house of a woman, named Rosselly, the daughter of a man with whom he had political relations at Lugano. The note was in these words : "' From Paris to London.—To Madame Roselly, 58, Myddelton-square, Pentonville, London.—lf you come in contact with Murat, you are to tell him, among other things, that you have good hopes as to your military career. If you are absolutely in want of arms, you are to ask permission to dedicate to him a fantasia of your own composition, 11 voto, for the piano. If you are absolutely in want of pecuniary aid, you will tell him to send you, buying it for you, Balfe's last opera. Address and hour. If there is great probability of doing the thing, you are to write an insignificant letter, and conclude, 1 will write to you in a week, in three or four days. If there be absolute want of an intimate be pleased to tell me the price of a Broadwood piano in London.' This note was one of the documents found in pos session of Greco. It is manifestly from the hand of Mazzici,as an expert has abundantly demonstrated. Together with this paper Mazzini sent a sum of money to Greco. Greco then set out for France, by way of Turin and Mont Cenis, and reached Paris early in May. Under the name of Fioretti, and sometimes under his own name, he lodged succes sively at the Hotel Saint-Marie, Rue de Rived, and at No. 198, Rue St. Honore. He found a pretext, as had been agreed upon, to present himself at the house of Prince Murat, one of whose secretaries he frequently saw ; and he succeeded in this way in making the police agents, who had at first watched his movements, believe that their; surveillance was superfluous. " The Emperor had for a short time left Paris. It was decided, in a correspondence between Greco and Mazzini, that the attempt should be postponed. Greco quitted his hotel in July, leaving behind him a portmanteau containing various articles, and say_ ing he was going to London. He returned to Lu gano, where he again found Mazzini. His relations with him were continual. "In consequence of measures adopted by the Swiss au thorities the Mazzinians who resided at Lugano found it expedient to disperse. Greco retired to Mendrizio, but ho came several times in the week to Mazzini's lodgings. It was during these interviews the org an i sat i on of the conspi racy was concluded. Mazzini from the commencement declares that, having gone to London, he left the address, written with his own hand, to which letters for him should be directed, 'lll. Flowers, 35, Thurloe-square, London.' This note was seized, with se veral other notes signed by Mazzini with his usual abbreviation, together with four of his photographs, two of which were signed by him. " Eight days before Mazzini quitted Lugano he left 1,300 francs with Greco. He next sent him I,ooof. from London, and again 2,000 f. in bank notes. At the same time he col lected arms. Greco received 10 bombs, revolvers, and poniards, through various Mazzinian agents, and particu larly through an individual named Mostel, of Genoa. Finally, Greco selected, with the approbation of Mazzini, the comrades who were to accompany him to France. Tie had already rocureAl the assist:lT:leo of Imperatori.

In introducing the City M ercant il e Club and Dining Hall Company to the public the Directors have p leasure in k no wing that they are supplying a great public wan t, it being universally admitted that— A Club adapted to the constantly increasing growth and requirements of the commercial and mercantile world of the City of London, and A higher class public dining and refreshment hall are greatly wanted. The Club, with its private dining, reading, and smoking rooms for the exclusive use of members, will be cond ucted under the management of a committee, strictly upon the principles of similar establishments, with a small entrance fee and subscription, and a moderate dining-room tariff, adapted to the views of menof the commercial world. The establishment will contain from 30 to 40 bed rooms. Holders of ten shares and upwards will (subject to the ballot) be admitted to the membership of the club, without entrance fee. The public dining halls will be on a scale worthy of the City, and capable of comparison with any establishment on the Continent. The Directors have purchased in one of the best and most central situations in the City, in close proximity to the principal places of business, a magnificent range of buil di ng s (recently erected under the superintendence of an em inent ar chitect) in the centre of Cheap a id e , having nearly 30 , 000 feet of floor space, and pre-eminently adapted to the re quirements of all branches of the proposed establishment. It will be for the consideration of the Directors whether it is desirable to let off the ground and basement floors, the residue of the premises providing ample space for the re quirements of the undertaking, and should these floors be so let off they will - alone co lamand a rental sufficient to g uarantee a substantial dividend upon the paid-up capital. The Directors have carefully considered the probable profits and returns of this undertaking, an d their most moderate calculations show a dividend of from 30 to 40 p ar ent. The Directors congratulate themselves on having secured the invaluable co-operation of several gentlemen whose practical knowledge and experience will be truly desirable. In consequence of a large amount of shares having been already applied for (and a mo o t encourag i ng number of applications made for Club membership),the Directors are compelled to add that the list of applications for shares can remain open for a limited period only, an the meantime a pplic a tions for the unallotted shares mus t be made to the Solicitors or Secretary; the required deposit having been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company.

Imperatori persisting in his determination, , Grece requested him to write to Mazzini, and received t -om him (for the latter) the following letter, dated the, 15th September, 1863 : "'Respectable M. Mazzini,—After h av ing several times communicated to your friend G. my des. 413 and my firm re solution to proceed to Paris, in order to tttempt the life of L. N.—seeing that the aforesaid did not; sego. disposed to second my enterprise and my firm determination, I have determined to address myself to you, certain of being seconded in my firm resolve.—l salute y , )u, and am yours, IMPERI .TORI-NATALE.' "This letter was communicated by GI-, ice. to Mezzini, and then returned by Mazzini to Greco os uatr.lll to try and to hold Imperatori. " Greco next added Trabuco. This Ind ividual had long led a vagrant life. In 1850 and 1851 he Nt as employed as a physician, receiving wages on board the : French ships Al gesims and Paadore. Ile disappeared, le4-1 ing debts behind him. He was convicted in Paris on the Itt h October, 1857, and sentenced to imprisonment for one ye at , for swindling under the name of Belisario. Having bee u expelled on the 13th October, 1858, by an administrative d ecree he went to Italy, where he served with the Chasseurs c f the Appenines, and thence to London, where he was sen fenced to three months' imprisonment for robbery on the 1 Oth of August, 1861, " Greco, who saw him for the first time at Na plea in 1860, met him again at Genoa in November, 1863, s nd again at Lugano and Mendrizio in December. Frequt nt meetings took place between these two men. Trabuco enjoyed the reputation of being a daring conspirator; and C.,i,uadrio, one of Mazzini's secretaries, assured Greco that he should find in him a devoted auxiliary. He entered into the plot, in which it tt as seen above he took a particularly active part. " In fine, three or four days previous to the departure of Greco for France, Imperatori came to him to present a young man named Scaglioni, one of the Thousand' of Marsala who had been compelled to quit Paris, a warrant hiving ` been filmed against him for some act ofvfolence. Scaglioni declared he was determined to attempt the Emperor's life. Greco explained to him, in the presence of Imperatori, the danger they were about to incur. Imperatori repeated that for his part he made the sacrifice of his life, and that he was resolved, inflexible as fate. Scaglioni wished to consider the matter. He returned, and said he was determined, and asked to be permitted to join in the plot. Greco admitted him, assisted him to procure a passport under the name of Maspoli, and they prepared for their departure. The Em peror had taken up his residence in Paris for the winter. " Greco only waited for an air-gun which he was to receive from Mazzini. This weapon was delivered to him in Decem ber. The following day the four prisoners quitted Lugano, having each in his travelling bag two of the bombs procured by Greco, who wished to take only eight of the 10 bemba received from Mazzini. They were provided with other arms and with gunpowder purchased by Greco in Switzerland. They crossed the frontiers eight days afterwards. "The facts avowed by Greco were at first denied by the other accused. Trabuco pretended in his first interrogatory that he knew nothing of the use for which the articles found in his rocm were intended. But he shortly afterwards asked to be examined again, and he declared with great violence of manner, that it would be found in some pages written by him since his arrest that the bombs seized in his room were intrusted to him, that he had brought them to France, and that he meant to use them to kill the Emperor, whose death he had sworn since the affair of Aspromonte. He admitted that Grecs showed him a bomb at Lugano, telling him, 'this is real justice;' to which he replied, it is the truth.' " Trabuco, with whom were deposited the keys of the trunks in which the bombs were placed, had been particu larly charged to examine the approaches to the Opera, and it was proved that he obtained information as to the Em peror's habits. Scaglioni, atter some denials, fully corrobo rated Greco's account, adding that each had threatened the the others with the disgrace of withdrawing from the plot. He explained that the bombs were to have been thrown under the Emperor's carriage, and, if necessary, the Em peror was to be put to death by means of poniards and re volvers. As for Imperatori, he at first pretended he knew nothing of the plot, hoping, as nothing was found in his room, that his position was better than that of his accom plices. " But his letter to Mazzini, seized upon Greco, left no doubt as to the part he had performed. He in vain endea voured to make it be believed that the letter had not tho bearing attributed to it; next that it had been forced from him, and that since then he had never ceased to be the vic tim of moral constraint. He was at length obliged to admit his relations with Greco. He admitted that he introduced Scaglioni, that he was aware of the object of the journey ; that he assisted in bringing the bombs into France ; and that he knew Greco had aesumed the name of Fioret ti. The other prisoners explained that no arms were found in his room because the furniture could not be firmly closed. "Scaglioni had possession of the two bombs which were to' be used by Imperatori. In fact, the proceedings of Im peratori in Paris, as proved by the police agents, show that he was incessant in preparing for the execution of the plot. As for Mazzini t the protest which, according to custom, ho made in the foreign press, both on the present conspiracy and •n that of 1857, cannot prevail against the precise and corroborative declarations, the information, and particularly the written proofs collected during the preliminary pro- ceedings. " Competent judges were appointed to examine the arms seized on the conspirators. It was ascertained 11 firing two of the bombs that each of them broke into more than 44 fragments, which would produce the most terrific results. As for the poniards, which Greco confessed were poisoned, a gummy matter was found, and tin sheets which had served to fix a poisonous substance, but that substance, which had left a trace on the blades, had evaporated and the experts could not discover its nature. " At the time the prisoners were arrested, the execution of the plot was evidently near at hand. Trabuco was about to leave. He had announced at his hotel that he was going to London ; he asked for a hammer and some nails to close a box, and he wrote an address for it, which was found in his room. Scaglioni had written to his family to request they would send him money to Geneva. " Greco wrote to London to say that all was going on well, and asked for money which, in fact, arrived on the 6th, after his arrest, under the form of a draught for 500 f., supplied by a house known to have relations with Mazzini. In fine, the bombs, which it was agreed should not be charged until the last moment, were filled with gunpowder the evening before the arrest of the prisoners. This was done by Trabuco and Greco, with the help of Scaglioni, and in presence of Imperatori. "Trabuco, for a purpose which it is difficult to under. stand, sought to maintain that he had not participated in it ; but, being confronted with his accomplices, he answered, in his last examination, I accept the answers given by my friends.' " Never was crime more skilfully prepared—never were conspirators better chosen, and supplied with arms more terrible and more sure. Never was attempt against society at large so near its accomplishment, when the vigilance of the authorities penetrated their designs, foiled their plots, and delivered over to justice the guilty. "Wherefore the persons named-Ist. Pascal Greco, aged 28 years, professor of music, born at Pisa (Italy), residing in Paris, No. 176, Rue St, Honord ; 2d. Raphael Trabuco, aged 40, born at Citta di Averza (Italy), residing in Paris, No. 176, Rue St. Honore ; 3d.

Giuseppe Mazzini, born in Italy, absent—are accused of having in 1863 and 1864, with the design concerted and decided be tween them, formed a plot having for its object to attempt the life of the Emperor ; the said plot having been followed by an act committed or commenced towards its execution; the said crime being against the 86th and 89th Articles of the fist section of the Penal Code."

LATJNCII op A DANISE WAR VESSEL.--.oa Wednesday afternoon an armour-plated frigate, intended for the Danish Government, was launched from the build. ing yard of Messrs. J. and G. Thomson, at Govan. The length of the vessel is about 280 feet, and she is of 3,600 tons burden and 600 horse power. She is covered from stem to stern with armour plates 4i inches thick, upon a strong backing of teak and iron plating. The launch was witnessed by a large number of persons on both sides of the river, and was conducted without the occurrence of any mishap. A NEW SamocK.--The Edinbur g h papers are e nthusiastic about Mr. Alfred Wigan's perform ance of this great Shakespearian character . On Monday • ht, in the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Allred suite, this favourite actor appeared for the first time in his new part, and his impersonation of the fierce, exacting, greedy, passionate Jew, completely carried away an intelli gent and somewhat critical audience. Mr. \Vigo' , we un derstand, will appear in another of Shakspere's characters at Liverpool, on occasion of the tercentenary festival to be celebrated there, playing the part of lago, with Mrs. Wigan as Emilia. It is another proof of the utter want of taste and judgment on the part of the committee of management at Stratford-upon-Avon, that Mr. Wigan has received no invitation to attend there. These who can recollect Mr. Wigan's performance of Falconbridge at the Princess's, certainly one of the best conceptions of character ever m ay naturally feel some sur• prise realised a t the on the omiEssniogniisohf stage,h his name from the programme. A national dramatic festival, from which our two best artists in their respective lines—Mr. Phelps and Wigan—will be absent, will certainly not adequately represent the present prixftioa of Mc English stage. .'N :~~ ARGYLL ROOM S, Windmill-street, Piccadilly, IS OPEN EVERY EVENING.
